REID supports every entity out there that wants to keep you OUT of public lands. I recommend buying everything you can from them with their great selections and low prices. That way it's kind of like sealing your own fate.

Lol at REI "low prices." They are so expensive I can't believe they're still in business. I've been in there to try on boots and stuff before because they usually carry good brands but you can buy the same product elsewhere for a lot cheaper. And now that they did away with their lifetime warranty there is no incentive to shop there
